Somaliland’s National Electoral Commission (NEC), has rejected opposition claims that Monday’s presidential election was marred by irregularities and announced that they haven’t found any evidence supporting the claims.

“We have received a verbal complaint, from a Waddani delegation led by the party’s presidential candidate, Abdirahman Irro, on their concerns over how the vote was conducted in Gabiley region,” Iman said

“As NEC members, we take all complaints seriously, and conduct a prompt investigation into any complaint that we receive,” Iman said

“NEC spokesman, Said Ali Musa and I, went to Gabiley to further investigate the claims. We have not found any evidence proving that electoral laws were violated in the region on election day,” Iman said.

Iman also called on political parties to review the electoral laws and code of conduct during his interview with Horn Cable TV.

Senior Waddani officials also met with a high-level delegation from the European Union on Tuesday morning to forward their complaints over Monday’s presidential election.
